Apartments constitute most of Dubai’s upcoming property; show no signs of price fall

Staff Report
Dubai, UAE
 
Residential units have jumped to 708,000 in Dubai after the addition of 6,800 new units in the third quarter of 2023. According to Dubai Land Department, the first half of the year saw the completion of nine real estate projects worth Dh4.06 billion. Currently, 392 real estate projects are under development. Transactions worth Dh283 billion (US$77 billion) in the first half reflects that Dubai’s residential market shows no sign of slowing down. Apartments are mushrooming throughout the emirate. They constitute 80 percent of the 13,000 units expected to be delivered by the end of 2023.
 

This reflects a demand for apartments and one of the reasons for greater supply is that they guarantee higher returns annually. As per Dubizzle, affordable units in areas like Dubai Sports City and Silicon Oasis offer more than 8 percent ROI, which is higher than the average return in Dubai. On the other, other forms of property like villas and townhouses in Al Furjan and Damac Hills offer up to 7 percent return annually.

The demand for apartments has also pushed up prices. DLD recorded an increase in apartments sales volume by 3.42 percent from 2022. In the second quarter of 2023, Dubai Hills Estate sold apartments at Dh1940 per square feet, which is 27 percent higher compared to the same period in 2022. Industry experts predict that property prices will continue to soar, and this is evident in the 18.1 percent rise in average prices till July 2023.
